This place is such a cozy little gem ☕✨ I ordered a breakfast sandwich and an iced matcha, and everything was SO good. The sandwich was perfectly toasted with melty cheddar, fluffy eggs, and crispy potatoes packed inside every bite was warm, savory, and comforting. And the matcha? Smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness 💚 What really made it special though was the adorable private seating by the window. It felt like my own little morning nook perfect for slow sips, people-watching, or just enjoying a quiet moment. The sunlight coming through made the whole experience feel extra dreamy. Such a cute spot for a cozy breakfast date or solo self-care morning. I’ll definitely be back

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Don’t miss this little gem of a spot when visiting Ithaca. The service is gentle and kind and the food is delicious; prepared with care and creativity. Pick a window seat and watch the world go by while sipping coffee. As you leave with a full, happy belly, look up and smile…

Hound and Mare is a coffee shop with a nice ambiance and a rustic/urban warehouse feel off the downtown commons in Ithaca. I’ve been looking for a coffee shop with great breakfast food in Ithaca, and this place definitely fits the bill. If you’re looking for something a bit more gourmet, but still in a relaxed environment this is the place to go. There are plenty of food and drink options to choose from which are creative. It was also nice to hear Adele playing in the shop, one of my favorite artists! I got a lavender latte (which was flavored just right - not pictured but delicious) and the breakfast burrito. It comes with homemade salsa that has the right balance of acidity and kick. It was also a very generous portion size. My husband got the Maple Latte, iced, and the Melrose sandwich which is a bagel sandwich with bacon, fried egg, cheese crisp (which is really good), and he added roasted tomatoes. Definitely a tasty bagel sandwich! We also tried a couple of the pastries which were also well done - the scallion cheddar scone and the pumpkin cream cheese muffin which wasn’t too sweet. Would definitely come again!
